But they also say that when the condition meets the test the code "sets admitted to True", you'll need to do that instead of the print (you won't need to print anything for this challenge*.
Also, don't remove the code line that was provided to set the initial value of admitted.

Now this says that is incorrect!!!!!!!!!

229,732 PointsPlease use formatting when posting code, otherwise it's impossible to see if the indentation is correct.
But otherwise it looks like you forgot the colon after the "else".

229,732 PointsWith no formatting, it's not possible to tell if your indentation is correct. But assuming that it is, your "if" line is missing the colon at the end, and the code that sets admitted to
Truewould not be words in quotes but would look like this:admitted = TrueUse the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area.
